HTML and XHTML standards tend to be increasingly large undertakings whose time frames from beginning to end approach multiple years. Some standards processes are approaching a decade to complete and the future only holds longer release cycles unless the standards bodies can find a way to modularize the work. XHTML Modularization was a step in the right direction. The HTML 5 route, while a noble undertaking, could be improved via the use of RDFa semantics to provide functionality. This article outlines a potential method for improving the standardization processes for XHTML and HTML family languages by using vocabularies to define functionality instead of the traditional ELEMENT/ATTRIBUTE route. http://rdfa.info/wiki/rdfa-as-ui-extension-mechanism Thoughts?
